Repairing Box Pump Connecting Straps
By Jonathan Holmes

Hi, can anyone recommend a material to use to replace the belt / strap
connectors that link the bellows to the crank in the four-lobe Welte
Licensee pump?  After having many problems with my Licensee, this is
now sorted and it is now air tight so to speak; unfortunately this put
a strain on the material connectors and one duly snapped!

As I live in the UK a generic type of material and a supplier in the
UK or if not in the States this would be great as now this instrument
at last plays I want to get it finished and out of my workshop.

I know it is always the case of leave something and it will all fail
and I should have expected this as everything else in the instrument
has been replaced!  This should teach me a lesson.  Please help I want
to get this sorted urgently!

Thanks
Jonathan Holmes
